Social isolation can deepen feelings of loneliness and disconnection. I help individuals who feel cut off from others develop meaningful relationships and rebuild their social lives. Together, we explore the barriers that have contributed to your isolation and work on steps to re-engage with your community, fostering a sense of belonging and connection.
We need other people to tell us who we are. We discover the value of ourselves in relation to those who value us. When we get isolated, we can literally get lost. In therapy you can perhaps find your core self again. I can help you ease the distortions that follow social isolation, help you to re-discover your warmth, and help you open a door to more fulfilling relationships.
I support people who struggle to connect with others for a range of reasons. This includes people who continue Covid-19 mitigation measures and feel isolated from others as a result.
Social isolation negatively impacts both depression and anxiety. I will work with you to better manage unwanted thoughts and feelings which interfere with daily living. I will work with you to begin widening your life in a comfortable and non-overwhelming manner.
